T530 will not shut down

Just received my new T530 Thinkpad with Win8Pro installed.  All was working fine for the first few days and then I am now having issues with it not shutting down all the way.  When shutdown is slected win8 logs out and shuts down.  It looks to shut down properly but at the point where it would normally shut completly off the power button blinks and the fan keeps running.  The wifi light is lit and so is the battery and cressent moon is bliking.  It will not respond to anything unless you hold the power button down for 4 seconds and force the system to shutdown.
Could this be a win8 update issue?  It did a update a day or so ago but not sure if it is directly related to that...

Welcome to Lenovo Community! Unitedgreg
How about update your T530 with ThinkVantage System Update? I am unsure of Windows 8, from what I know it could be accessible in Control Panel > Lenovo - Update and Drivers.

  • Mac Will Not Shut Down

    I ran Singular past my OS 9.2 drive and it disposed of items that were not duplicates. I rebuilt my system folder from a flash drive. Hard Drive will not shut down. I normally cycle between a drive with OS 10x and my OS 9x in the Startup Disk. Now when I tell it to restart on my OS 10 it will not shut down. I get a Software Update Engine error message with no error code.
    I even reinstalled OS 9.2.2 and it still does it. Even after Norton Utilities.
    To get past it, I option/command/esc to get it to shut off and restart on the other disk.
    Has this happened to any of you?

    Thanks for the input. Yes the OS's are on different drives. With all my modeling and animation programs... it would cost me a small fortune to upgrade them, hence OS 9.2.2.
    This all started after telling Singular to dispose of certain duplicated file. It apparently dragged some others out with it. I have a flash drive with the good system 9 that I used to go file by file in the extensions and control panels and made the wiped disk look like the flash drive backup. Corrected a lot except for this not shutting down without using escape. Reinstallation did not stop it.
    The norton is only for 9xx indeed... I am not having trouble with OSX drive at all. When I want to restart to 9xx it does it's restart and into 9xx land. Norton always finds a wall of screwed up blocks and trees... never seemed to be an issue. It raked up the files and fixed what ever these invisible files do. Still same same. We bought the first mac in Jax fl... we have been around this platform ever since. When macs were a bit simpler.. there were only so many things something like this could be. This is the only time I have seen this behavior in a mac.
    I just got in from 500 mile drive.. will go though these responses after a nap.
    Thanks before and after.

  • HP Pavilion P7-1141 will not shut down... Any thoughts?

    Brand new HP Pavilion P7-1141 desktop (AMD A8-3800 quad-core CPU, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, Radeon HD 6550D, Windows 7 64-bit) will not shut down properly regardless of what I do - I can press on/off button on the desktop, or choose "shut down" from Windows 7 menu, each time the following happens: Windows shows it's usual "shutting down" screen, then screen goes blank and monitor goes to sleep, but the desktop itself still seems to be working in some unusual mode: fans are rotating - I hear the usual quiet noise from them, the lights on the desktop are on, however, no hard drive activity at all. In this mode, the desktop can't be turned on anymore - I need to press on/off button for a few seconds to turn it off completely or unplug the power cable and plug it back and only after that it can be turned on. Windows will not show any error messages during startup, HP diagnosticks program does not find any issues, no error messages of any kind. I checked power settings in Windows, played with power settings in BIOS without any success. Am I missing something? Any ideas?
    UPDATE: Sleep mode doesn't work as well. When I choose "sleep" from Windows 7 menu, exactly the same thing happens (monitor goes to sleep, fans are rotating, the lights on the desktop are on, no hard drive activity, etc). At least when I choose "restart" it restarts without any problems.

    Hi:
    See if  (re) installing the chipset driver helps.

  • MacBook Pro will not shut down

    A principal at my district has a MacBook Pro 15-inch Early 2008 (2.4/2X1GB/200-5400/256VRAM/AG) running OS 10.5.8 that will not shut down. When shut down is chosen, the computer restarts instead of shutting down. It does not matter how shut down is chosen, whether it is from pull down menu, keyboard command, click on shutdown in the login menu, etc. I have tried resetting PRAM, SMC, starting up from a known good system, and run diagnostics applications (which turn up no problems). The only way to get the machine to tunr off is hold the power button down until it shuts off.
    The user complains it also gets very hot when he leaves it sitting open in sleep mode. I have not observed that particular symptom. It also tend to run down the battery faster than it should (battery check shows it to have 80+% of it's original capacity.) But Activity Monitor does not show any unusual activity.
    Any suggestions what I can try next to figure this thing out?
    Thanks.

    On occassion (like tonight) my MacBook Pro will not
    shut down - even when I attempt to force quit. Any
    suggestions?
    Happens here too, but very rarely. In my case it mostly happens late at night when OS X is supposed to run some internal maintenance jobs, maybe some of them do not allow a shutdown?
    Does holding the power button down for approx. 10 seconds work? If yes, then I would not worry about it. If no, there is something seriously odd and I would report it to AppleCare.
    Cheers,
    Uwe

  • Mac Book Pro (OS 10.4.11) WILL NOT SHUT DOWN UNLESS FORCED! STILL PERSISTS!

    My Mac Book Pro 15", 2.33 GHz, 3 GB memory - runninfg Mac OS X 10.4.11 WILL NOT SHUT DOWN UNLESS FORCED! HELP!!!
    When I use the SHUT DOWN command in the Apple Menu - programs close, the screen goes to a blue screen with a revolving time indicator and then remains that way until I FORCE SHUT DOWN by pressing the power button - then after a it makes the sound the screen goes black.
    I searched the forums and tried the suggested fixes: trashing these 2 .plist preferences and reboot.
    Reset your Energy Saver preferences.
    HD > Library > Preferences > SystemConfiguration > com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
    User > Library > Preferences > com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
    this worked for a couple of cycles then the problem retuned/
    Hey, Mac geniuses and wizards - what is going wrong with my macboo

    Have you ever waited and let it do it's thing? I was ready to force mine to quit the other day after waiting 2-3 minutes, and all of sudden, it shut down. I restarted it and then shut it down again. This time it was normal.
    Try this yet before doing an Archive and Install.
    1. Boot from your system CD, run Disk First Aid from your Disk Utility and repair your permissions.
    2. Use a utility like Onyx to clean your system cache out, including your kernel cache. The computer will restart slow right after that, but I keep rebooting the computer about 3 times in a row, and I'm back up to speed.

  • Safari will not shut down

    My safari will not shut down. I tried to restart my computer, but since safari will not shut down, neither can the computer. I was using a web-based IEP (teacher program) software that required opening a PDF in Safari when it stopped working. Any help would be great. I also cannot use Safari. It will minimize.
    Thanks!

    Force quit Safari.
    Command + Option + Esc
    Or click Force Quit from your Apple  drop down menu.
    Or, you can force quit apps using the Activity Monitor located in HD > Applications > Utilities

  • Final cut will not shut down stays in the dock and I have to reboot

    Final Cut will not shut down ..... stays in the dock and I have to physically reboot

    Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean by stuck in Dock.
    You reboot your Mac. Is FCP trying to open automatically (the icon bouncing)? Or is it just visible in the Dock?

  • Ipad2 will not shut down

    Went to reboot my IPAD 2 and will not shut down, the ICON ( wheel) just keeps spinning. What's up with this?

    I don't fully understand what the System Reset does but I've found that it cures many ills.  It's easy, quick and harmless:
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
    A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.
    Also, you might wish to download the iPad-2 User Guide.  Pay special attention to page 162.  Note that this Guide also applies to the iPad-1 with IOS 4.3 except for those functions that are not supported by the hardware.
    http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad
    Finally,  the User Guide can be downloaded at no charge via iBooks and a less   comprehensive version of the Guide is included as a Safari bookmark.

    A couple of people are trying to hijack your thread, but lets concentrate on your problem. Yes it does happen. Sometimes the nano is hard to shut down. Sometimes you have to reset it. I have had my nano not shut down no matter what I did to it, so I restored it and it is fine now. Here try the five r's and see if that helps youhttp://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/

  • Itunes will not shut down on mac

    My itunes will not shut down when I close it out.  The itunes ball will bounce up and down and reopen itself.
    I am running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard and this has started in the last 3 weeks.
    I thought it was my blackberry software and had that removed.  It has continued afterwards.
    I do have all of my music on an external hard drive.
    Thanks

    Thanks wjosten I have read that and all the links in it. I did finally get it to work. I downloaded iTunes and reinstalled it. Now the one computer I wanted it to work with is OK.

  • Itunes will not shut down.  it keeps reopening?

    its the latest version, windows 7 is up to date. after updating iphone and ipad tp iOS 5 itune keeps opening every 2-3 minutes, it will not stop!  i uninstalled it and reinstalled, still the same.  this is maddening!

    Hi jkherman.
    I am having a similar problem.  I shut down iTunes and then shut off my computer (MBP 13", 2.9 GHz i7, OS X 10.9).
    When I reboot, iTunes appears to be running, however the window is not visible, but the icon is lit from underneath in my dock and iTunes is running when I check the Activity Monitor.
    Also, it will not shut down from the dock icon.  I need to go into Force Quit to shut it down.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

  • IMac G5 Intel Early model 10.4.4 will not shut down

    I have just replaced the internal HDD due to hardware failure in my iMac g5 (Intel early model) reinstalled the OS, applied all updates successfully. Problem is the machine WILL NOT SHUT DOWN. If I chose shut down, it will only restart! (As it does if I choose restart) Only way I can power it down, is to pull the plug or hold the power button in. It will go to sleep, after preset time on sys prefs. but will not shut down. HELP!!!!!!!!

    iMac g5 (Intel early model)
    There is no such Mac.
    It is either an Intel Mac or a PPC Mac.
    If yours is an Intel mac the correct forum is here:
